Yes, I might be a bit behind the gadget head cutting edge on this one, but I thought since I’d not tried it yet, there are probably several others out there who haven’t either. On Saturday, I did a little video showing you how easy (and worth it) it can be to run your computer video through your home television to see web video, live streams, et. al., through your big screen television.

All I did was purchase an HDMI to DVI connector at Wal-Mart, run it from my HDMI output on the MacBook Pro to the DVI connector on the back of my Sony television, check the TV input settings, my computer display settings, and I was watching MLB.com’s live streams of games on my 55-inch high-definition television. It literally to five minutes and very little technical savvy.

It's wonderful to read about a female poet coming of age in this era, especially with Anne Sexton as a mentor for a short while, but so many other poetic luminaries as well. I'm also finding it encouraging to know, being 38 myself, that one can jumpstart her career at this age.

I've heard from many people that a Mac Mini running Boxee is the way to go. Of course, you don't get to take it on the road, as with a laptop, but it's slightly more cost effective..

I think there's still a huge opportunity for someone to come up with a do-it-all $200-$400 settop box, but all that I've seen from Netgear, Popcorn Hour, Apple TV, Roku, etc. leave features and details to be desired.

I'm presently using the sound on the laptop, but I'm looking into buying a second laptop with appropriate sound patches to my surround sound system (also Sony, by the way) to get the full experience. It will require a separate cord. Good question.

Thanks Mike. I'm not the most intelligent shopper, so I probably could have gotten the cord cheaper online. But I'm a “here and now” guy. I just run to Best Buy or WalMart and buy the damn cord I want.

Never pay more than $15 for a cable like that. Especially one that's digital and not analogue.

Yeah, I haven't jacked it all up with dedicated wireless peripherals yet, but I'm going to. I'm already jonesing for a dedicated video-only laptop to avoid constant set up/take down. (Kids and cords across the living room don't mesh.)
